• Route the analog lines separately from the digital lines.
• When using a cable shield, use separate shields for the analog and
digital halves of the cable. Failure to do so results in noise coupling
into the analog signals from transient digital signals.
Mating connectors and a backshell kit for making custom 68-pin cables are
available from NI.
The parts in the following list are recommended for connectors that mate to
the I/O connector on the device:
• Honda 68-position, solder cup, female connector
• Honda backshell
Unpacking
The NI 6115/6120 is shipped in an antistatic package to prevent

damage several components on the device.
Caution Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.
To avoid such damage when handling the device, take the following
precautions:
• Ground yourself using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded
object.
• Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the computer chassis
before removing the device from the package.
Remove the device from the package and inspect the device for
loose components or any sign of damage. Notify NI if the device appears
damaged in any way. Do not install a damaged device into the computer.
